Chapter 543

Director Kong came, so he couldn't escape the social niceties.

Zheng Ren might overlook it, but Director Pan wouldn't. When Zheng Ren received Wang Qiang's call and was about to leave, Director Pan said in a notice tone that he would invite Director Kong to lunch at noon.

Director Kong didn't stand on ceremony, nodded and agreed.

We're all from the army, what's the big deal about eating a meal with the old squad leader? Although Director Pan's old unit and Director Kong's were far apart, they couldn't be linked by eight poles, yet that faint camaraderie truly existed.

Zheng Ren had a headache; at noon… he didn't know how much he'd have to drink.

Not long ago, Chang Yue and Su Yun got the two drinking companions invited by Longwind Micro-creation completely drunk, and Director Pan happily said, "No wonder they're my soldiers."

After seeing them off again, Director Pan finally settled things, and Zheng Ren and Director Kong returned to the emergency ward.

"Little Zheng, I heard you've come up with a new technique for this TIPS surgery?" Director Kong asked.

"Director Kong, it's not a new technique; I'm using nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion to make a diagnosis, determine the puncture point, and avoid blind puncture." Zheng Ren replied politely.

"How high is your success rate with one puncture now?"

"Um… the failure rate is especially low; I haven't encountered any yet." Zheng Ren thought for a moment and replied.

Director Kong had previously contacted Su Yun through Zhao Yunlong and others, knowing Zheng Ren was tinkering with TIPS surgery in Hai Cheng. He had some idea of the research progress.

But Su Yun speaks in riddles and never gets to the point.

To Director Kong, Zheng Ren's progress here looks like seeing flowers through a mist.

Today, hearing from Zheng Ren about the new progress in TIPS surgery, Director Kong was first startled, then sighed.

These young people are really something. A few months ago, they didn't even have the qualifications to go to the capital for selection. If it weren't for Professor Pei Yingjie from Modu insisting, Zheng Ren would still be stuck in Hai Cheng.

But how long has it been? One month? Two months?

Not only has the prostatic interventional embolization technique been settled, but they've also come up with a new approach for TIPS surgery.

Director Kong's eagerness to acquire talent surged, and he secretly felt fortunate.

Fortunately, Zheng Ren has Su Yun by his side, and Su Yun is well acquainted with the mid-level inpatient chiefs at the major tertiary hospitals in the capital, making information gathering easy.

If we followed the usual routine, in a year or so they'd become Nobel Medicine Prize candidates, and then putting forward conditions wouldn't be as simple as sending a team-leading professor to the capital to work under me.

As for who to send to Hai Cheng, Fang Lin's side is eager to come, but we can't hold them back.

If it weren't for Professor Gu of cardiothoracic surgery giving him a good scolding and telling him to rest properly, this kid would already have flown over here.

Even if we're short-staffed, pulling out three or five PhD students is still easy. Rotating them, even if dozens of PhDs take turns for Zheng Ren alone, we're still getting a great deal.

Director Kong fell silent, constantly calculating in his mind.

In the end, he concluded that Zheng Ren must seize the time to pull him away. The longer Zheng Ren stays in Hai Cheng, the greater the variables.

Arriving at the emergency ward, Wang Qiang stood in the hallway holding a stack of films.

Gao Shaojie was there too, and Zheng Ren was taken aback.

"Teacher Gao, you're being overly enthusiastic, huh?" Zheng Ren thought.

"Teacher Gao, how did you come here?" Zheng Ren greeted him with a smile.

"Teacher Zheng… you'd better not call me Teacher Gao, it makes me feel awkward." Gao Shaojie extended his hand, shook Zheng Ren's, and said politely, "Just call me Old Gao, that's fine."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Zheng Ren smiled: "How did you come here?"

"After returning, I studied the films and your teachings, gained some new insights. This isn't just taking advantage of having patients in Hai Cheng to quickly polish up."

"Thanks for the effort." Zheng Ren nodded, "By the way, let me introduce you."

"This is Director Kong of the Intervention Department at Du Du 912 Hospital. This is Gao Shaojie, Professor Gao of the Intervention Department at Sheng Cheng Medical University Affiliated Hospital." Zheng Ren introduced the two.

"Director Kong, Greeting." Gao Shaojie said elegantly, his words polite, but he lacked the admiration he had when speaking with Zheng Ren.

"Hello." Director Kong was also somewhat aloof.

Their greeting looked warm, yet it gave off a feeling of being thousands of miles apart.

"Let's go, look at the films." Zheng Ren didn't want to waste time on pleasantries, took the film bag from Wang Qiang's hand, and strode into the office.

"Director Kong, would you like to look at the TIPS Surgery first, or at Fugui'er... Professor Rudolf Wagner's post-prostate surgery patients?" Zheng Ren sought Director Kong's opinion.

"Let's look at the TIPS Surgery first, then go see the professor's patients." Director Kong said: "Does the professor have a Chinese name now?"

"Yeah, they just randomly came up with it." Zheng Ren gave a wry smile.

Director Kong nodded with a smile; Fugui'er, hearing it, indeed carries a vibe of the 1920s-30s Republic of China era.

This time, the patients suitable for TIPS Surgery that Wang Qiang collected, after screening, were left with only four people.

Not all patients with refractory ascites and end-stage liver cirrhosis are suitable for TIPS Surgery. Whatever the surgery, there are indications, and one must also consider whether the patient's condition permits it.

One patient had somewhat poor liver function; Wang Qiang originally hesitated a bit, and sought Gao Shaojie's opinion.

Gao Shaojie outright denied it without hesitation.

Even if Zheng Ren's surgical skill were high, there would still be an indication; for patients already approaching liver failure, it would be odd if there were no complications after surgery.

Zheng Ren didn't know these; he counted and saw only four patients' films, guessing in his mind the possible situation.

But he didn't mind either; he took a patient's film bag's medical record brief, and began to understand the patient's condition.

Su Yun saw Director Kong arrive, stood up early, and greeted Director Kong.

"Su Yun, are you proficient with this set of things that Zheng Lao Ban put together?" Director Kong, seeing Zheng Ren looking at the materials, then asked.

"It's alright; the first surgery was an emergency procedure I did with the Boss. We punctured four needles, and finally succeeded. The Boss might have felt there was a problem, so he started researching. Coincidentally, Fugui'er was around, and the Boss and Fugui'er discussed it for a long time." Su Yun briefly introduced Zheng Ren's research process on TIPS Surgery.

Director Kong pondered.

According to Su Yun's account, Zheng Ren had only just begun researching TIPS Surgery, and yet he achieved such success?

"Director Kong, I have something to say; please don't be upset." Su Yun had no intention to mock; his facial expression was very serious.

Hmm?

"The diagnostic method the Boss researched is close to the operating principle of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance machine, and also requires mental reconstruction in the brain..." Su Yun said up to this point, paused briefly; the rest of the thing is just left blank.

For adults, leaving blank space is quite important.

Su Yun isn't unaware; it's just that among his peers in Di Du, there's really no need to leave blank space.

Just a bunch of ants—does it need to be left blank? Su Yun thought so. As for Director Kong, it's a different matter.

"You little brat, are you afraid I won't be able to save face?" Director Kong laughed.

Su Yun's expression was solemn; he nodded.

Director Kong was taken aback.
